Quick Update

Baby Christman is here! Both mom and baby are doing well. Baby is adorable, but sorry, no pics for you all, you'll just have to take our word for it.

Matt is improving a little every day. Still a long road to go, but can at least tell you he's been making all of us laugh every time we see him.

Reason Why The Show Is Late

Hello Grey Wolves,

This is definitely the most difficult thing we’ve ever had to put out through the show. Last Tuesday morning, Matt Christman suffered a sudden, severe medical emergency that will require a significant period of recovery. He is currently in the hospital in stable condition. We are trying very hard to be optimistic, but there’s no easy way to say that he will be out of commission for the indefinite future.

As many of you are aware, Matt and his wife Amber Roll...

768 - Handjob for the Recently Deceased (9/18/23)

We cover a spurt of stories about politicians being horny, starting with of course Lauren Boebert’s broadway handy. Then, have you seen this plane?: the air force loses an F-35 somewhere in South Carolina. Finally, we have a reading series on Mitt Romney’s self-mythologizing retirement announcement that eventually morphs into a rumination on the fate of empires.

765 - Searching For Sugar, Man feat. Ettingermentum (9/7/23)

We’re joined by elections analyst Ettingermentum for a critical look at the career of Ronald Dion DeSantis: from his rise as an marine lawyer turned Obama-era tea party author, to his now-flailing Presidential campaign, DeSantis has managed to fail upwards to the peak of Republican politics, then fumble the bag as soon as the spotlight hit him. We also touch on the seemingly inevitable Biden v. Trump rematch in 2024, and what the Dems and GOP might look like once these two mummies finally r...

759 - The Mark Hotel of the Beast (8/17/23)

Folks, they’re calling it “RICO”, RICO folks, and we’re saying it more and more. Trump & friends continue to be indicted, more on male loneliness, and one enterprising New York City teen wages a one-man war against an Upper East Side hotel.

We’re joined by Justin Comer and Evan Jones of the Rock Hard Caucus podcast for their on-the-ground report from this year’s Iowa State Fair.

In lieu of covering this summer’s cinematic event of Barbie/Oppenheimer, we discuss two westerns by American movie master Howard Hawks: 1959’s Rio Bravo and 1966’s El Dorado.

753 - Gurnee Nights (7/27/23)

Our take on the Congressional UFO Hearing. Biden has a new dog that’s even more poorly behaved than the last one. DeSantis continues to hemorrhage staff, this time losing his brain trust of 20-something groypers. Trump expounds on his faith, and we discuss his many, many impending indictments. Finally, the return of Obama’s limousine superhead.

We examine the continued agonies of Catturd, Charlie Kirk’s incompetent racism, RFK Jr’s donor fart party, and of course the quickly collapsing DeSantis campaign. Did DeSantis say “mmm…hungwy”? Well, empirically the answer is no, but spiritually the answer is yes.

We catch up on NYC mayor Eric Adams and his many increasingly complex and increasingly inexplicable lies. Then, we try to gaze inside the relatively leak-proof Biden White House to discern what, if anything, interesting is going on with the 46th president’s day-to-day life. Finally, and genuine Content Warning here, we look at the grisly, ineffective and stupid world of penis enhancement surgery.

Happy holiday weekend, sorry we’re a bit late. To give them credit, the dry boys actually rallied to record as usual on Monday, this time it’s Chris who’s been off grilling and chilling in the woods. Anyway, we’ve got takes on the recent Supreme Court rulings, Twitter’s continued degradation, and drama among the loser nerds behind the DeSantis campaign.
